Reach 1 Teach 1
Reach one Teach one (R1T1) is a vocational learning program for young men ages 16-24 as an alternative to dropping out of school. IRC started the R1T1 program in 2020, with the first program of horticulture. Teaching programs that are offered include: Horticulture, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and technology with hopes to expand to additional courses including welding, masonry, and other skills to help these young men create a way to support themselves and their families and become a productive part of society. Currently there are five students with two more joining in the fall.
While we are training young men to be proficient in important skills needed every day, we also focus on the spiritual side of their lives. R1T1 studies a book called “Men’s Fraternity” with the students. This study helps each student forge a better understanding of what it means to be a “Better Man”.
